Third-Party Administrator (TPA) Marpai, Inc. MRAI has confirmed its revenue guidance for Q2 2023 is between $9.5 and $9.8 million. Marpai leverages AI capabilities to change how self-funded employees create their health plans.
Its revenue guidance for Q2 is comparable to its revenue from Q1, and the company expects that its net income and its earnings before taxes, interest expense and depreciation and amortization expenses (EBITDA) will improve compared to Q1.
This is because the company has successfully implemented a program for reducing costs, according to Yoram Bibring, the company's Chief Financial Officer. He commented, “Our cost-cutting efforts are starting to show meaningful results. This is evidenced by the expected improvement in our EBITDA in the second quarter, despite revenues remaining approximately flat, as expected, compared to the first quarter of the year.”
The revenue prediction for Q2 maintains the revenue increase that the company had seen last quarter. Q1 2023 saw revenue increase by 26% for the company over Q4 2022’s revenue of $7.6 million.

The company will soon be launching an AI-powered platform, Marpai Connect, to improve its TPA service. Marpai reports that the Connect platform uses deep data analytics to connect participants with the best healthcare provider at the best possible price. Through its service, Marpai believes it can assist self-insured employers decrease their spending on healthcare while reducing risk for their patients.
